Josh Allen has again become the only player in NFL history to accomplish a unique feat.
With his second touchdown pass of the day on Sunday’s 33-21 win against New England, Allen became the first player in league history with 100 passing touchdowns and 20 rushing touchdowns in their first four seasons.
His first TD of the day was a three-yard pass to Isaiah McKenzie, executing on fourth-and-two in the red zone near the end of the first quarter.
Allen then led an offensive charge downfield in the final two minutes of the half to hit Stefon Diggs in the end-zone on third-down, threading the needle for 12 yards and the score:
In all, he would go 30-47 with 314 yards and three touchdown tosses while leading the team in rushing with 64 yards on 12 carries. The win over the Patriots also moved the Bills back into first place in the AFC East.
With his 100 passing touchdowns in his first four seasons, the 25-year-old QB became the first player in Bills history and ninth all-time to throw as many in their first four years in the league.
In the first half of today’s game between those first and second touchdowns, he also became Buffalo’s first-ever quarterback to have multiple seasons with 350-plus completions. He also surpassed 4,000 yards passing for the season during the game, becoming the only player in Bills history with multiple 4,000-plus passing yard seasons.
He is also on pace to possibly break another Bills record. His own, that is.Â
Should Allen end the season with 38 or more passing touchdowns, it will best the all-time Buffalo mark he set last season, in which 37 of his 46 total scores were through the air.
Becoming the first and only player in NFL history to accomplish unique achievements has been part of Allen’s ascension early in his career.
He is also the only player in the history of the league to log three consecutive seasons of seven-or-more rushing touchdowns.
Allen is the only NFL player in history with 400-plus passing yards, 30-plus passing TD’s, and eight-plus rushing TD’s in a single season. He is also the only player in league history to have had three consecutive seasons with seven-or-more rushing touchdowns. And he was the first player in NFL history to have two games in a season with three-plus passing TD’s and 400-plus passing yards and zero interceptions with a 130-plus passer rating.
The Bills will next face the Falcons and Jets, whose defenses present the opportunity to do just that, so there may be some more records broken by Allen before the end of the regular season.
As for the QB, his focus will be solely on execution and winning those games.
